Hi All,
Was diagnosed w/ lyme + adrenal fatigue + low thyroid.
Starting Buhner LB Core protocol today, but doctor gave me a list of "detox" supplements to start as well. While waiting for LB protocol / other detox supplements to arrive started taking vitamin C (2 grams, divided) and drinking water w/ lemon (1 ice cube in 1 liter water over the course of the day). Since starting the lemon water / vitamin C I've been feeling significantly worse -- more tired, don't feel up to working out, dizziness, etc...
Is this a herx / sign I should be continuing to do these things, or a sign I should back off?
I started the LB Core protocol today (1/8 tsp) + the other detox supplements (querecin, milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid) and pretty much just felt like lying in bed and sleeping all day. Eventually forced myself to go for a walk, and noticed that my throat was feeling somewhat constricted.
Thoughts? I see my doctor again in 2 weeks, but it would be nice to get opinions before then.
